dedicated good happy hard nice worked
I'm really happy for him. He's worked really hard for this. It's nice to see a good person, who is dedicated to the game, on and off the ice, get rewarded.
clicking job power worked
They worked really hard. It was a battle. Fortunately, our power play was clicking and we got the job done.
advantage casual deserve hard mistake rest second silly took worked
We were just way too casual the whole second period. We never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. And they took advantage of every silly little mistake we made. We got what we deserved.
effort guys hard proud throughout worked
The guys really worked hard from the get-go. Even when Dallas) scored, I didn't see them flinch. I'm really proud of the effort throughout the line-up.
caused cheat maybe neutral rarely talked
It's something we actually talked about with the linesman. They cheat on every face-off, and they killed us the other night. I don't know, maybe having said that caused them (the referees to make the call). But it is a penalty. You rarely ever see that one called in the neutral zone.
amongst common hard light net red score wants
Each one of them wants to score so bad, they go to the net hard and they live to see the red light go on. That's what's common amongst them all.
along gets
Everyone gets along very well, even the new girls. We try to keep it where everyone is very close.
against best focus games huge seem vancouver win
The best thing we can do is win all our games, then you don't even have to bother. Our focus right now has to be on Colorado, but those two games against Vancouver right now are huge as well as the game in L.A. It's the L.A. and Vancouver games that seem to have the most importance.
dangerous happened joe picked plays power since time
That is the first time its ever happened for this franchise. Since we picked up Joe (Thornton), we've had one of the most dangerous power plays in the league.
fun guys twice
Not many guys can make a play on their backhand like that. To see the guy on your forehand is one thing, but to do it twice on your backhand is pretty fun to watch.
home league nashville playing series win
It's not about playing Nashville or anything like that. The way the league is now (seeds) 5, 6, 7 and 8 could win their series and then you have home ice.
bench generally hang
The feel on the bench is that something good's going to happen. Generally speaking, we hang in there.
glad joe struggling
I'm glad Joe scored the goal. He's been struggling lately.
draw seriously stayed
I'm not going to say he stayed down to draw the penalty. I didn't really see the play. He did come back so he wasn't seriously injured, fortunately.
